OK so at the moment this camera only has an Android app which is a problem for iPhone users and leaves them in limbo.
Actually that's no problem at all
Download an app from the iOS Store called LinkinEyes:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/linkineyes/id750726978?mt=8
Turn on your Yi camera and connect to the Wifi connection named YDXJ_******* (the stars will be random numbers)
The default password is:
1234567890
Launch the LinkinEyes app on your iPhone / iPad and it should now connect to your camera and let you view live video and even better change the settings
Now normally you can't access the camera via VLC from your PC as it needs certain commands sending to activate the RTSP stream.
So what you can do is connect from your PC to the Yi Wi-Fi connection using the credentials above, launch VLC and do Open Network Stream.
Enter the URL as follows:
Click play - if it doesn't start playing straight away then just fire up the LinkinEyes app to send the relevant commands over and it should start to play a stream:
Sorted
